5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent purchase if you research it first
Verified PurchaseThe DSi XL is not for everyone. Nintendo specifically said it wasn't for everyone, so it makes little sense to purchase one if you're looking for an upgrade from the DSi. The XL is not supposed to be a cutting edge/newest technology/must-have portable gaming system.
Here are the people who would be disappointed to spend money on a DSi XL:
1. Techno-geeks, especially those who already own a DSi--you probably already know this and have moved on, but if you're still reading, you won't like the DSi XL. It's graphics are NOT sharper than a DS lite nor DSi. Yes, the screen is larger but if the visuals start as slightly pixelated on a small screen, the effect is magnified and more choppy on the large screen. It's certainly not a dealbreaker but you're about as far from HD quality as you can throw this thing. The camera is a toy not a tool. The memory is limited. The browser won't match the gaming system/smart phone/PSP/3 you already own.
2. Owners of a DSi that like portability and have "young" eyes--you've already worked your way up from a GBA to a DS to a DSi and each one has better visuals than the last. There is no advantage to sinking another $180 into another system unless you're having trouble seeing details in your current games. This model is substantially bigger but also heftier and burns through its charge at a faster pace. Save your money and keep your DSi
3. Nintendo fans that have a large library of favorite gameboy games--you'll hate the larger system that takes up more real estate but *still* doesn't have a GBA slot.
4. DS lite owners with a ton of accessories and a small budget--all those extra chargers and lighter adapters and cases will be useless on the DSi XL.
5. Super hardcore gamers who are gore-fest lovers--there are very few titles that are those zombie-shooting, parts-flying, blood-splattering type of games that grab the T and M ratings. And on the DS/i systems, you can't really feel that adrenaline rush in the same way. Plus many of the T/M rated games aren't that good on the Nintendo system (there are a few exceptions)
********************
Now who SHOULD definitely get a DSi or DSiXL:
1. DS (or DS lite) owners who have waited--stop waiting. Now is the time to upgrade to a DSi XL or snatch up a preowned DSi. The screens are bigger and brighter and the downloadable games have a lot of very good titles (and some pretty bad ones so read up before buying)
2. People with a means to carry the DSi XL (like women with purses)--yes that sounds so sexist but this system can't fit in a pocket as smoothly as the "junior" version. It's heavier and more likely to fall out. I suspect it will follow the general rule "the bigger the screen, the more often it'll break" But if you have the means to safely cart it around, the big screen is much easier on the eyes. It's worth the inconvenience of the larger/heavier size, but then again, I have a purse.
3. Parents of younger kids--many of the games are geared toward a younger audience and there is nothing more straightforward than a stylus touchscreen as a means of control. It's terrific to hand my DSi XL to my bored daughter when waiting in a long line.
4. Fans of atypical games--like puzzles? Word games? Brain challenges? Interactive cooking instructions? This is the system for you. The selection of games is strong and many are addictive. The "typical" game library is excellent too but don't expect that high-resolution, online multiplayer experience with voice support to be the majority of your gaming experience on this system.
5. Fan of Nintendo games but wish they were easier to see--you don't have to have visual problems to appreciate a larger screen. Many a TV buyer has wished they bought one size up.
In summary, the DSi XL is a great choice if you want a larger screen, portable system (with a means to carry it), and access to a wide variety of games, puzzlers, and atypical applications. I really like mine. The DSi XL is an access gaming system. Like the Wii, it's not intended to wow the gaming world; it's supposed to broaden it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the DSi to get
Verified PurchaseLNow don't get me wrong. I wasn't trying to look for a perfect DSi but it this is far from perfect. The stylus is missing and also didn't have the big stylus pen. Sure the profile picture looks nice but that's not where you're getting. I would suggest getting it somewhere else

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECTION! Nintendo Does It Again =)
Verified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
I am going to be honest when i say i really wanted the BURGUNDY colored DSi XL. However, when i stopped by my local Toys R Us today, there weren't any on display. I couldn't imagine myself walking around with a Pink DSi XL. I'm a guy after all! Hahaha
This is an extremely well built device. One can feel the quality when the device is in your hand (Even though it says Made in China on the back). After all, this is Nintendo & they always deliver. I never upgraded to the DSi and i am so glad i held off because i didn't want to sacrifice my DS Lite and lose out on all my GB Advance games. I have been waiting for this device ever since i heard it was coming out last holiday and it's finally arrived in the US. I am beyond pleased with my upgrade. For anyone who is debating on whether they should shell out the money for the DSi XL - I would recommend that you do yourself a favor & UPGRADE! For the two huge screens alone, it's totally worth it. I still kept my DS Lite because I do enjoy the backwards capability of the GBA games. It would have been nice if the GBA slot was incorporated in the fourth-generation DS, but its not.
The main attraction of the DSi XL is OBVIOUSLY the two HUGE screens. All the DS games look absolutely GORGEOUS on this thing. All the games look exactly the same as they do on the original DS except they're all enlarged to accommodate the bigger screens. Yes, the blocks/pixels (Whatever you wanna call it) do look a bit more noticeable, but then again it did as well on the original DS. You'll notice it at first, but after a few seconds of playing you'll find yourself completely immersed in your game to even notice something so minor.
I have the bronze version and the only thing that is bronze is the side accent chrome and the back. The cover is a matte finish and yes, it's a finger magnet, but it has a sheik Manhattan trendy look to it (Very Fashion Forward). However, the cover and the inside look more like a charcoal grey and black more then it does brown or bronze. Even with my lamp turned on right next to the XL, it looks like black. It's still a very portable gaming device on the go. Despite what reviewers are saying, it's still a pocket friendly device and its easy to just throw in a purse, bag, or backpack on your way to work. Its exquisite use for a train ride, a plane ride, a scroll around Central Park, or when traveling abroad and you need a good diversion to keep yourself entertained.
Just when everyone thought thin was in for technology, Nintendo does a complete u-turn and marches to the beat of their own drum.
Pros:
Good quality sturdy build
Internet Browser
Ninety-Three Percent Larger Screens (Absolutely gorgeous)
New Interface (Not for DSi users though)
Music Player (I wish it had a video player)
Three Built in Games (Brain Age Math, Brian Age Arts, & some photo thingy)
DSi Shop (This is probably the future of gaming where everything is digital downloads)
Cons:
No video player
Micro card (I'd prefer Micro SD)
No Dictionary (I think the Japanese & UK versions had a built in dictionary)

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite the multimedia player the PSP is but still great a product for the money
Verified PurchasePros:
- Larger screen
- 2 cameras
- SD storage slot
- Easy to navigate interface
- Direct upload to Facebook
- Brain Age Express
Cons:
- No buttons for brightness control
- Internet not as useful
- DS store is a bit lacking
I'm a long time owner of Nintendo handheld products since from the large clunky Game Boy from the 90s. But 2 years ago I broke that tradition and got myself a PSP. Don't get me wrong, I love Nintendo games and the PSP has grown on me. The thing that kept me from getting a DS earlier was the price of games. It's always been Nintendo's standard not to come out with a cart that can be cheaper. They staved off selling CDs like everyone else for the longest time. But when the DSi came out I thought it would enhance an already growing catalog with online support and shopping for older carts much like the PS Store.
The interface of the DSi XL is nice, easy to scroll through and to customize cart locations yourself. The Brain Age Express game that came with it was pretty nice too since because it's really a great learning game for people of any age. That was a good move on Nintendo's part. The cameras are pretty useful too. Some would question the need for two but it does make sense in that if you want to take photos it's not like the phone cameras where you can't see yourself before you take the shot. Also complimenting the internal memory is the SD slot, in which you can easily copy photos, and game settings. And you can upload directly to Facebook and other sites, which is also a nice addition.
The Nintendo store is still in it's infancy stages as you need to purchase points to buy a lot of the games there. The internal memory storage is quite sufficient. Though I've never purchased any of the games they have available. Unfortunately, the games in the DS shop aren't the same you'd find in stores, which makes it a bit less attractive if they don't offer the DS's regular catalog or even classic GBA titles for sale. Hopefully, Nintendo will improve on this throughout the years.
Internet is another fishy thing. I only visit 3-4 sites before the DS tells me I run out of memory. So right now the internet is out too. There are a few other drawing programs and a clock feature but other than that it's main thing you're going to use it for is gaming. And that is something the DSi XL is very good at. The main gripe I have about it is that I can't control things like the brightness or turn off the internet without resetting the DS and going into their on screen control panel. These things would have been easier if there were some on board button directly on the console. This is a great stepping stone. Once Nintendo works out it's kinks perhaps the next rendition will be an improvement to what has the potential to be a very powerful multimedia device.
